Which side of the plane to sit from Federico Fellini International Airport (Rimini) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, beginning with a spectacular view of the Venetian Lagoon and the northern Italian coastline, followed by the dramatic peaks of the Julian Alps and the High Tatras.
Venetian Lagoon
Shortly after takeoff from Rimini, enjoy a high-altitude view of Venice and its historic island clusters.
Julian Alps
Magnificent views of the snow-capped peaks in Slovenia and the northeastern Italian border.
Tatra Mountains
The highest range in the Carpathians, providing rugged terrain views along the Slovak-Polish border.
Warsaw Cityscape
Depending on the exact airway, the sprawling Polish capital may be visible mid-flight.
Moscow City Center
During the final descent into Domodedovo, the Kremlin and city skyscrapers are often visible to the northwest.
Book a window seat on the left for the best morning light conditions, as the sun will be behind you or to the right for much of the northbound journey. This side is critical for seeing Venice within the first 15-20 minutes of flight. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane reaches cruising altitude over the Adriatic.
Istrian Peninsula
Aerial perspectives of the Croatian coastline and the blue waters of the northern Adriatic.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe appears as a distinctive long, narrow turquoise body of water in Hungary.
Carpathian Forests
Dense, undulating green forest cover across the eastern European landscape.
Pannonian Plain
Vast agricultural mosaics and river systems stretching across Hungary and into Belarus.
Domodedovo Approaches
Views of the extensive forest belts and industrial zones surrounding Moscow's southern outskirts.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the horizon as you approach Moscow. It provides better views of the Croatian islands if the flight path takes a more easterly track. Be aware that the sun will be directly hitting this side during midday flights, which can make photography difficult due to glare.
